The model was used in Canada to evaluate the benefits of integrating inbound flows from on-site manufacturing and external plants for order preparation across various channels.

Pallets are automatically deconsolidated and stored in pairs using a 12-level multishuttle system. This deconsolidation is crucial for the subsequent preparation of low-volume orders for a wide product portfolio.

Product sorting is 90% automated, using sorting cells supplied in the correct sequence to 2 automatic palletizers and an additional manual cell for sorting corrugated materials and/or individual parts.

Sorting is done at height, so when the pallets are complete, they are wrapped and delivered for routing to the scheduled shipping zone for each shipment (route).
